That’s absolutely fine with you on a personal level and with those around you who have the direct knowledge to be able to form a reliable opinion. On a great societal level, we should speak in objective terms. Those objective terms are evidence.

Yeah that’s the foundational principle of our criminal justice system for a reason. Trials can’t be held in the court of public opinion. That’s what third world countries do.

I got false accusations my senior year by my ex-girlfriend, who I refused to do anything with because I wanted to wait till marriage. I had to drop out of public school, everyone believed her, she was older than me, and she had caused two guys before. It was proven in court that she lied, she refused to provide evidence that would clear me. The detectives dropped criminal charges because there was no evidence, and there was actually evidence against her.

Her messages were seized and it was shown that her friends and her were planning how to make this the worst for me, and there were texts between them admitting I didn’t do anything, and that she was mad that I didn’t want to have sex with her. Yet everyone believed her.

Yep but everyone in here is “believe everyone regardless of the evidence.” That’s the type of thinking that belongs in third world countries without due process.

It’s also engrained in your message that you have automatically labeled ANYONE who makes an accusation a victim, but that’s just not the case AND you’re wholly ignoring due process. Victims deserve justice. Improving knowledge on what to do to obtain evidence after an SA, instead of just saying “believe all women,” will help them obtain justice.

I am so, so, so sorry for your loss and for what happened to your friend. There are bad men just as much as there is bad women. False accusations are real, and I won't dissmis that. Our system does protect the accused with very little rights victims that are survivors of very heinous crimes. I believe we can still have a system that protects the accused, while paving rights for victims as well. Who really aren't protected by much in a system based on innocent until proven guilty.

If I was the family of the deceased I would definitely consider filing a wrongful death suit on her. Thank you for opening up this discussion.

Public opinion is directly interlinked with prosecutorial discretion. A person can be indicted on mere probable cause. You cannot isolate one from the other in a system run by public trial and trial by “a jury of your peers.” That’s to say that the public being driven by emotion rather than logic and evidence does undermine due process.

So have you read the messages of her saying it was consensual, that she enjoyed it, and that she wanted to do it again. What about the messages of her trying to go to another Chi Phi party right after the events?

ive seen some where it makes me think shes just trying to protect her reputation. She said “luv you king” to one of them AFTER it happened. and she consented to all the activities that happened and never once took it back. they were all on drugs.

Anonymous #7 21h

a man texts her apologizing for the night before. she says (paraphrasing) “none of the sexual stuff was actually illegal” what part of that implies consent to you? if it was a consensual instance of group sex, why would he be apologizing to her? why would there be any thought of whether consensual sex was had or not?

Anonymous #4 21h

EVEN IF (big if) she had consensual sex with 7 different men, she did not consent to pictures of her being sent and she did not consent to an open invitation to use her drugged body for sex to be sent to 50 additional men.

Then if you get raped it’s your fault for putting yourself in that position. How does that sound to you?

Advising “believe all women” doesn’t help obtain justice. They will be under a false impression that a conviction can be obtained on mere accusation. What will actually help victims obtain justice is telling people what to do to preserve and obtain evidence after an SA. Our system is founded on due process and a fundamental component of that is that the state must have sufficient evidence to prove a case BRD.

how do you know if they're false if they never go to trial? this is why estimates vary widely on how many are false. in order to get to that number, you'd at least have to separate out allegations that the putative victim formally retracted, allegations that the victim didn't want to push forward because the legal process would be traumatic, allegations where prosecutors dropped charges because it was a he-said, she-said, etc.

the original source for 2% seems to be a feminist writer loosely quoting a judge who made the statement at a bar association meeting. more recently there was a study that is generally considered the standard in the US saying 5.9%, but because of the small sample size the MOE was between 2 and 10 percent.
